Worst afl player you've seen (and why)

[adammania9]

Mccaffer while not the worst of the worst was definitely bottom of the barrel, cost Ablett another brownlow....

Macaffer was ok. Had a good footy brain and ran hard both ways. Played a surprisingly big role in our premiership.

 

[CakeEater]

Taylor Duryea, the worst player to have played over 130 games and won two Grand Finals. Good on him though, he’s just crap.

Surely Anthony Rocca is the worst player to play over 130 games.................

You are a buffoon, CakeEater. Anthony Rock was a very consistent player for North Melbourne and Hawthorn over 13 years

 

[ZeppelinChisel]

Worst players last decade in Starting 22 format that I can think of.

B: Bower, Dawson, Surjan
HB: R. Clarke, L. Jones, T. Hunt
C: Morton, Joseph, Mackay
HF: McQualter, Vickery, Castagna
F: O’hailpin, Butcher, Folau
Foll: Cordy, M. Jones, Rischetelli
I/C: Bootsma, Polson, Eddy, Boekherst

I might have missed a few.

How on earth is Rischitelli in there? He won a best and fairest and played 240 games.

Canstandya cant kick properlybut a good forward pocket in general, Rischetteli used to be good at brisbane.
Rest is pretty accurate.

Not 50 games but Lukas Markovic wasn't a particularly good defender for the Dogs.

Which Morton brother and why Rischitelli?

Ridiculously slow and had the turning circle of the Queen Mary.

Liam Jones at Carlton has actually been a good player. Even in a bottom side multiple top 5 B&F finishes you don’t get by being rubbish.

 

[MadMundy]

Funny thing about Zac Clarke is that during his time at Freo he was actually a serviceable and semi decent player, a solid backup ruck and decent down forward when he was put there. A year in the WAFL dominating the competition actually didn't turn out too well.

Hindsight is the best judge but surely Rocket could've started him back.

 

[ZeppelinChisel]

Cale, definitely.

I don’t know what I was thinking putting Rischitelli on there. Great player, just regressed dramatically due to age. I should’ve put Pat McGinnity in instead.

Completely forgot about Nick Suban as well, maybe I should’ve put him instead of Jacob Surjan.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Also ZeppelinChisel, O'hAilpin, Butcher, Folau.

Sounds like a complete sentence and Setanta's intentions.

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

Hindsight is the best judge but surely Rocket could've started him back.

Most of his Bulldogs career was under McCartney.

Yeah I'm not sure why he was never tried back. Pretty clear now that he is the type of player who is better at reacting rather than being proactive. I guess when you see a guy that big who can run and jump your natural inclination is to see if he can be a forward.

 

[Chuckie357]

Robert Eddy
Brett Peake
Dean Polo
Andrew McQualter
Raphael Clarke
Arryn Siposs
Tom Simpkin
Sam Dunell
Trent Dennis-Lane
Josh Saunders
Brodie Murdoch
Tom Ledger
Billy Longer
Tom Curren
Mav Weller
Cam Shenton
Tom Lee

Take cam shenton off they list. Could’ve been as dominant as dunstall or Lockett if they played him in his proper position, full forward! Won an sanfl prelim on his own and with some help from the opposition coach just before he got drafted

 

[Chuckie357]

I can remember a few at Port Adelaide;

John Butcher
Simon Phillips
Jimmy Toumpas
Jack Watts
Darren Pfeiffer
Mitch Banner
Steven Salopek
Andrew Moore
Jason Davenport
Tom Logan
Paul Stewart
Nathan Lonie
Michael Pettigrew
Nick Lower
Greg Bentley
Brad Symes
Fabian Deluca

Toumpas didn’t get enough chance at afl level apparently.
Davenport - he was the guy who was on geelongs list and then got 40+ touches on debut against them didnt he?

Davenport was on Geelong’s list but I don’t remember him having 40+ touches.

Castagna is a shocking inclusion.

 

[ZeppelinChisel]

Castagna is a shocking inclusion.

He just can’t kick the ball straight, like Butcher. Again, there were many players I missed out on such as Suban, McGinnity and Toumpas.

Yep not a great kick. Still, averages over a goal a game and his tackling and pressure is elite. Would get a game in every team in the AFL.

Perhaps you should swap him with Cam Polson....

Polson is on the bench, here are my changes so far;

Suban replaces Surjan, McGinnity replaces Rischitelli, and Toumpas replaces Castagna.
